All this year I'll be posting Punisher comics, mostly from the pre-Ennis era, but some from the Ennis era as well. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.
A lot of people probably remember how DC did themed Annuals back in the 90s, where each year all the Annuals would use the same concept. What most people DON'T know is that Marvel did something similar back in the late 80s and early 90s. In 1988, Marvel's Annuals told chapters in an "event" called "The Evolutionary War". I storytimed The Punisher chapter of it yesterday, which you can read over here: In 1989 Marvel did another "event" called "Atlantis Attacks". Easily the most famous of all the "Annual Events", Atlantis Attacks is about, as shittypedia puts it: >The storyline is a complicated, multi-layered crossover regarding the return of the seven-headed serpent god Set at the hands of the various underwater empires of the Marvel Universe.
It's also the most misleadingly titled story arc pretty much ever in comics, because it has essentially very little to do with Atlantis, and nothing to do with them attacking.
Today we're going to read The Punisher tie-in issue for Atlantis Attacks. The only thing you really need to know about the rest of the "event" to understand The Punisher part of it is the line greentexted above and the fact that a dude named "Ghaur" is trying to, according to beggingformoneypedia: >Transform the human population into mute serpent men; using a serpent formula conceived by the terrorist Viper, with the deposed underground tyrant Tyrannus injecting recovering drug addicts with the chemical.
But fuck all that shit. What really matters is that The Punisher teams-up with Moon Knight. And Mike Baron writes this, and his run was fucking awesome, so that means you need to read this.
Plus we've got a backup by Roger Salick, and JIM LEE draws a breakdown of "The Punisher's Fighting Techniques", and there's even some pin-up art.
I have this issue, the Micro backup is fucking badass

Caleb Bennett
See, this is the Moon Knight I like, where he is like Dick's Batman, friends with everyone, and goes after supernatural/mystic enemies. I feel they have been diving into his mental stuff too much recently and not tracking werewolves or ghosts or snake men.
Aaron Ortiz
SNEAD AND FEED
Samuel Diaz
>pham Is it the same diner with the assassins?
Benjamin Bell
Moon Knight is one of those characters that seems like he'd be perfect to team-up with The Punisher. I'm surprised they haven't met more often.
Jace Hall
>Is it the same diner with the assassins?
I just looked it up. That one appears to have been called "The Thousand Autumns", so I'd guess they're unrelated.
Charles Cox
